Bigg Boss is Hindi adaptation of Big brother. There are also regional adaptations to the same show with language name at the end. But my question is why it is written Bigg with two gs' in the name? In the original series Big Brother, the spelling has a single G but why was it changed? Is there any reason for that change?

1By repeating biGG, it may be a try of indicate that the meaning of the word big should be the biggest highlight. it's like saying baddest. while baddest is not a regularly used word(in UK english anyways..) but It means someone/thing is way more bad than usually saying 'eh, he's bad' but something like he's very very bad. oh, I can't stress this enough. you really really should concentrate on how bad he is.

1Don't know specifically about Bigg Boss but Indian TV serials have a trend of misspelling/adding alphabet to the title due to astrology/numerology. Remember Dill Mill Gayyee with extra letters. Also Koffee with Karan instead of Coffee. Ekta Kapoor had a history of adding extra k eg Kkusum– KharoBangdoAug 17, 2018 at 14:48

@JAB they were not talk shows, I think, based on my googling, bigg boss is somewhat a chat/talking show– VishwaAug 20, 2018 at 5:18
